A RAFT of proposed cycle routes in and around Hordle and Milford have been generally welcomed by parish councils.

The suggested routes will be formally agreed by Hampshire County Council later this year.

Among the 15 proposals are: Everton to Hordle; Downton to Stopples Lane; Hordle Lane to Everton Road via Sky End Lane; Hurst Road to High Street in Milford; Keyhaven to Milford and links with Milford Primary School and the village.
